Atomic Heart has become one of the most anticipated video games of 2023. Basically it is a title that takes many of the essences of bioshockalthough to some veterans it may also remind them of singularityother shooter that was inspired by the work of 2K and that takes the user to a temporary singularity that takes place in the Soviet Union.

For starters, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 have been removed as officially supported systems, leaving the current ground set in Wnidows 10.
Atomic Heart is now a title that works only with DirectX 12, which points to a ray tracing that is becoming more and more widespread among gamers, despite the fact that most still do not have a graphics card that supports this feature with guarantees ( and that if it supports it). This means that the game will not work on DirectX 11.
The minimal processor recommended is now a AMD Ryzen 5 1600 or an Intel Core i5-4460 Compared to the Intel Core i5-2500K or AMD FX 6300 previously established as a minimum and Intel Core i7-4770K or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X as recommended. On the other hand, the recommended graph (which is not the minimum) has risen from a Radeon RX 580 or a GTX 1060 to a Radeon RX Vega 64 or a GTX 1080. At the technology level it will support DLSS 3 and NVIDIA Reflex, but it is unknown for now if it will do the same with AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.
The worst part is undoubtedly taken by him. required disk space, which has gone up from 22 gigabytes to 90 gigabytes. This means practically multiplying by four the previously established amount, which could make it difficult to install the game on devices such as the Steam Deck, which for now is offered with a maximum internal storage of 512GB, which would force you to pull out a microSD card. as additional storage.
